I don't know if this is the right place to ask this question..

I'm tried of buying the radio shack soldering irons. I think it's time for me to buy a good one. I see some people that have the solder-stations where you can adjust the temp. Where can I get one for a good price and witch one.?

Thanks

Any Hakko or Weller WESxxx series station.

Make sure the actual iron can fit a good chisel-type tip so you can assemble packs well.

I use Hakko with station before. Very nice, but the station is heavy. If you can, get Goot CX-100BK-5C with Goot Soldering iron Power Controller PC-10. You will love it.

the 936 Hakko is a good choice. if you want bling bling.. the 937 is digital. here's a link for you

OK INDUSTRIES, by far the best, absolutely nothing against, hakko(prefer their precision range for mobile repairs) but OK industrys are waseome

I've got a Goot and a hakko 936 both are exceptional irons,just depends on how much you want to spend. I had a unger super race station that lasted me for about 8 years and I only replaced the tip and heater once.

Where can i get a Hakko iron?
A supplier that ships international would be fine.....

baih

are you in norway??
is the house voltage there 220 volts?
here in the U.S. we use 110 volts.
i would email hakko and weller or go to their websites and look for a distributor in your country.
both brands are popular here in the U.S.
just get a screwdriver tip. (flat tip) at least 3 to 4 mm wide.

Erlend

Of course, i forgot. We use 230V/50Hz here........
I can get Weller quite easy here, the only problem is the price. Like $250-300 for a good station!
I'll problably mail Hakko, and ask for European distributors, as the rest of Europe use 230V.

936-10 non-ESD(908 iron)
936-13 ESD(908 iron)

908 includes the 3.2mm tip.


5mm tip works great for batteries

Hakko shows some of the 936 models are discontinued.

Kiesub is probably the best place to get the hakko,but I would opt for the eutectic solder sold on hobbytalk it works really really well and looks great when your finished.
